[Nook Color General] Trickee360:
I asked a question similar to this earlier, but since then my issue has expanded a bit.

Basically, my problem is this: occasionally (I now have no idea what causes it) when I boot my Nook Color it doesn't boot past "Touch the Future of Reading" OR, when running CM7, it won't boot past the CM7 boot animation (no idea if these two issue are related).

On rooted Eclair, booting into CWM and running "fix permissions" and "clear cache" (per sebanoel's advice) fixes the problem, but doesn't help at all when booting CM7. Is there a known cause of this issue and a way to prevent it?

Also, I flashed CWM onto the NC itself using ROM Manager (to avoid having to carry my recovery SD with me everywhere), but I cannot boot into it using power+n. ROM manager's "Boot Into Recovery" command works, but not the buttons. I've read a few places that the button combo has changed, but these posts are ambiguous and don't offer an alternate button combo. Am I pressing the right buttons? Is there a place i can find definitive info on this?

One last question: is the NC supposed to power on whenever it's connected to a charger? Mine always does, and i think it's weird. Is this normal?
[Nook Color General] Shaunm44:
I'm having a very similar problem. I don't know what it is.

I switched over to Honeycomb on SD, then CM7 internal. Tried to put HC internal and nothing has worked. If you get an answer to this, I'd greatly appreciate it
[Nook Color General] Shaunm44:
I fixed it! :D I powered up, held the 'n' and it asked if I wanted to clear the device and it worked perfectly!

I would be back in action, but unfortunately, I have a broken/extra sensitive power button that B&N has to replace... Now I play the waiting game...

[kernel updated 2011-04-10] msm7227 2.6.32.21 + settings test + aufs module & scripts

cm7-Liberty ROM built on 2011-03-24, with cm msm7227 kernel completely updated from liberty's froyo source. Please test it.

2011-04-10 / 00089-gff3f4af

All files updated to a newer version in which only has this change made. Please test if there's any sd write speed improvement, or anything else effected such as battery life.

kernel source: https://github.com/ladios/htc-kernel-msm7227

md5sum: 9928d27989e870e8b0878b12404db5cb

kernel & moudles only, can flash over any cm7 nightly. You can also try it on legend and espresso.

note: the gan-eth.ko is for espresso. perhaps we can use that, too.

In froyo source, a same change as this commit has been made. If the updates of kernel can adapt that change, then I don't think this tweak is needed anymore, but I'm not sure that tweak really wouldn't help.

This flashable contains the same kernel & modules as above, additionally comments out the tweak in init.[board].rc file in boot image. If you flash this one more time, the change to init.[board].rc will be reverted, so you can compare.

[HTC Aria Android Development] DougG_ATL:
Backed up CM7 Nightly 30; flashed ladios' build & kernel. On initial tests:

Phone working

Radio working

Wi-Fi working (picked up two different signals with ease)

Bluetooth working (paired with Jawbone headset and Mac desktop)

GPS lock in < 10 secs.

Wireless hotspot working

Will report back later.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kabell4:
I'm not trying to be a smart @$$, but I'm always interested in how the changes are different from the previous versions? I'm running 29 now without any issues.

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] ennver:
Installed and running good so far. First time GPS takes longer then usual. No problem so far...

thank you for this one :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Moh_Jay:
Wifi is better with this kernel than with the one the nightlies have now. Please merge this kernel.

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] retired_mnbooze:
ladios, would it be possible to make use of koush's AnyKernal like drowningchild is? Or are you modding other aspects of the ROM too?

It was suggested to build a kernal update.zip here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11717285&postcount=21

If it is too much to bite off or you are too close to merging with master don't bother, I'd be more likely to test if it was kernal only.

Thanks for you work!
[HTC Aria Android Development] whynot_:
All is still good.......
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:

[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Zero problems after 12 hours. Runs great.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
I didn't study the code deeply. What I've done is to find out which files are new, merge them into the current source, and avoid the previous changes/hacks being reverted.

I didn't mod the rom, and of course I know about AnyKernel. I even forked AnyKernel to AnyBootImage. ( To whom who cares, I'm sorry that it's not well documented.) The problem is that the last few times when I packed a kernel, the wifi module was unaccessible. Haven't sorted out the reason yet, so I rather build the whole thing.

@all: How about battery life? mine's a little bit shorter.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
mines about the same

-i could never get the wifi that builded along side to work either
[HTC Aria Android Development] lilhaiti:
My battery seems to last a little longer with this kernel...although a cannot emulate the same usage from day to day because this is my daily driver and I may get more emails and fewer calls one day then more calls and fewer emails the next...but so far it seems a tad bit more efficient. I would be interested to see what has actually changed...just curious.

Also, WiFi seemed to connect a little bit quicker, and everything else worked as normal (as in not a noticeable difference).
[HTC Aria Android Development] FtaWolf:
Battery doing good here also. Some web, plume, emails, tapatalk, few calls, screen on auto within cm7 display, auto allow decrease.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
ok, then. has just pushed to cm gerrit.

edit: well, turns out I'm not supposed to do that.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
I think I know what's wrong now. try this:

delete_recursive("/system/lib/modules");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/lib/modules");
[HTC Aria Android Development] DougG_ATL:
Battery life is noticeably improved with this kernel. I've gone 14 hours on one charge, 2-3 hours longer than on prior builds.

[HTC Aria Android Development] BuckMulligan:
It's working pretty well for me - a couple of little glitches but nothing major, and WiFi is working much better than RC2! One odd thing, though - the notification bar icons for mobile data and for phone service remain white even though I have connectivity. That's only when I'm away from a WiFi network - when I'm connected on WiFi, all icons behave normally (changing from white to green upon connection).
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mechena:
Nice work

Nice work guys it works great and I am saying this because the main problem I had with cm7 was the fact that I could not connect to a hidden SSID wifi connection but now i can with no problem. 5 stars !!!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Please don't give up on the mission, you have a winner here. ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] AlbinoAsian:
thanks for this, just about to install this I'm coming from nightly 30, I will report back if after I've been running it for a while.

EDIT: I just saw this is a full build, silly me thought it was just a kernel. Still looking forward to giving it a run =)
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
24 hours and alls well! Great battery life. Thanks for all the hard work...keep trucking :)

[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Started running this kernel with nightly 30 and flashed it over nightly 32 a couple of hours ago. Everything still looks great, can't wait for it to get committed.

[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
First post updated. Please test, thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] loursonbrun:
Hi all,

I have just installed RC4; does that version already have the changes included in this kernel update, or do I need to install this ZIP on top of RC4?

Thank you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
No, it doesn't. Yes, you need to install this zip on top of RC4.
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
ladios,

any chance you could add AUFS support to your kernel? I am currently using drowningchild's kernel to have s-off system overlay, but I was using yours up until this weekend, and pretty sure battery life was better. AUFS on your kernel would be the ultimate IMO.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
Done. First post updated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
AMAZING. Thanks.

Flashed without a problem, and Metamorph is working. My phone is great right now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] SoCalHTCFuze:
Excellent rom tweaks. The most snappy and accurate my phone has ever been. Renders web content blazing fast!!!
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
Ladios, you've made CM7 usable.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
gan-eth.ko is for wifi calling
[HTC Aria Android Development] 7heBoss:
alright, if someone could explain this to me i would be most appreciative. every couple weeks i come to the forum download the latest nightly, wipe my phone. install the new nightly and go about my life for another couple weeks. repeat.

however now people are saying nightly is messed up, so when you all talk about using this kernal and flashing nightly over it, what does that mean? if someone could explain what it means and walk me through it i would be very greatful. thanks in advance
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Yea, the nighlies are screwed up right now. To get the latest

working

CM7 ROM, read below.

To keep it simple, Go Here and download the ROM from the link following where it says "Try This Rom:"

Do the usual wipe cache & dalvik and then flash the ROM.

That's all there is to it.

.
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
Correction, Nightlies are screwed up for some. Not for all. The only thing I can find wrong with the nightlies is that the Navigation pointer is all screwy (still gives proper directions). Other than that one thing, thats easily fixed with a simple .zip when flashing the ROM, I cant find anything wrong with the nightlies.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kabell4:
What does the AUFS do?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tribestros:
Drowningchild posted a fix to create a "pseudo S-ON" so we can use Metamorph, etc, but AUFS on has to be build into the ROM for this to actually work. So, if you use his fix for S-ON, you need a kernel with Aufs support.
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
maybe to help get it merged post versions in the Legend/Espresso forums
[HTC Aria Android Development] martiantakeover:
Thank you. 36 is running noticeably snappy.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:

[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
Has anyone else been noticing random boot loops lately? If I shut my phone down and start it back up I have been getting anywhere from 1 to 4 boot loops before it actually boots.

HTC screen...blank...HTC screen...blank...it always comes out of it but I'm worried I may have damaged my device flashing all this stuff.

Currently using CM7 build 38 with Ladios's latest test kernel. Phone works great once it's up.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
I'm running ladios' test rc4 and kernal for a few days now and everything has been great. ^^^^ Ive had boot loops like that happen to me in the past. So I fixed it by clearing cache & dalvik and flashing everything again. And boot loop went away.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
This was discussed in another thread here, a few days ago. It appeared to be happening to those running S2E or DT a2sd. The consensus seemed to be that it's just the system/apps2sd application getting things sorted out at boot. It also seems more apparent after flashing new sw vs just doing a simple reboot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
Yeah, boot loops on htc screen, scary, but are not really harm. A boot loop happened once even that was a clean install of the official cm7rc4 (I was collecting logcat regarding the new gps library, fyi). It might be something on sdcard I think, too.

Battery life wasn't so great for me, when I was @806mhz running anipet koi lwp beneath adw ex transparent 4d app drawer, and autokiller frequently killed it, causing it re-initialized and loaded hundreds of apps / their dalvik from sd-ext... I think it's a good idea giving up autokiller.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Yea, I think many of us realized that a few months ago, it's just a battery killer.

Question: In the updated OP you list the following for CM7:

download: cm_kernel_msm7227_2.6.32.21.zip

md5sum: 979d65400d64f0acdddd0eba17f19017

download: msm7227-2.6.32.21-cyanogenmod-00089-gff3f4af.zip

md5sum: 1fa468c4e88f69925c0c36c083aab149

It's not really clear to me what was updated, maybe more comment in the OP would make it clearer. Am I correct in assuming that the first zip (filename unchanged) is what we've been running the past couple of weeks and that the 2nd zip is the updated kernel to be tested?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Great question Charley. Which is the updated one?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Noobla_Khan:
With your new test kernel I don't think my battery life has really changed. Too early to tell.

How I gauge it is to charge full and let it sleep overnight and see what the battery drain is. I have been getting about 15% loss overnight. Last night I got about 19% but I checked it 2 hours later than normal.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
Those with the version code 00089-gff3f4af are the new ones. I keep the old ones for backup.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
Thanks, that's what I thought. It just isn't clear in the OP what stayed the same and what was updated.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
op updated. it doesn't look any better though.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
ladios, I don't remember how everything was in the original OP, but maybe if you added changes in chronological order, something like below, it would be clearer.

Just a suggestion and my 2¢

Anyway, THANKS for all your great work here.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Just flashed the updated 00089 kernal. Ill let you know how it goes.
[HTC Aria Android Development] yaswanth.y.s:
Can you please use the latest CM 7 final release to make a rom with your tweaks. I love the previous ROM you made. Please.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cHarley04:
All you have to do is download & flash the latest CM7 of your choice, and then flash this kernel over it.

It's that simple.

FYI: everything is running fine with the latest kernel 00089-gff3f4af
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
Same here running cm7 with old gps libs and the 00089 ladios' kernal and everything is tits.

[HTC Aria Android Development] jabbado:
Has anyone had luck getting this kernel running on the Legend with cm7 final? I've tried a dozen times and sometimes it will boot successfully the first time but after that it gets in a boot loop. Other times it won't get past the cm boot screen. Do I need the old gps lib you all are talking about?
[HTC Aria Android Development] yaswanth.y.s:
That is why we need a ROM instead of a Kernel. So much easier on non devs.
[HTC Aria Android Development] plumberchuck:
Running stable cm 7 with updated kernel and aufs, and old gps libs. It is running very smooth with no issues I can find battery is doing great after I remembered to turn off auto display [(was using 70% of battery) display was talked about by devs in cm 6 I believe] reading is good for you helps to stop the GEE DUH moments
[HTC Aria Android Development] CallMeAria:
The gps libs wont affect booting at all. Reverting to the old ones simply fixes an orientation problem with the newer cm7 gps libs.
[HTC Aria Android Development] eyeballer:
ladios, any thoughts on submitting your kernels for distribution with Kernel Manager? App is now in market and users should be able to flash kernels to their devices directly through it.

[Xoom General] funnycreature:
Hopefully! But in the 3G/4G Xoom the SIM and microSD card share the same slot.

He said the sdcard would not work until the 4g update and since the wifi only didn't have the 4g slot, it also doesn't have a sdcard slot.

This from the Amazon site.

Memory

* 32 GB internal memory

* Memory expansion via microSD card slot with support for optional cards up to 32 GB (functionality requires future software upgrade).

If it doesn't.. I'd said it's false advertising. Plus, it really doesn't make sense for it 'not' to have it. I just imagine the 'sim card' door will say microSD instead. ;) If it says anything on it at all now. If I were Moto, I wouldn't change the design between 3g/non-3g. Having the same door for both is pretty smart. Just means the Wifi version is microSD only.

My 2cents.
[Xoom General] MitchRapp:
hmm yeah that WOULD be false advertisement.

Also, aGPS ... I never get that. Just say GPS Chip with aGPS support. Less confusing. GPS Chip = no need for data to get signal.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
agps means it will connect without a network, but to get directions you will need a signal. Once you have them you can drop your wifi.
